Answer:
The equation of the function: y = mx + b
- m = slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = [5 - (-3)]/(4 - 0) = (5 + 3)/4 = 8/4 = 2
- b = y-intercept = -3
Therefore, the equation is <u>f(x) = 2x - 3</u>
When x = 0, f(x) = 2(0) - 3 = <u>-3</u>
When x increases by 1, f(x) increases by <u>2</u> (slope = the rate of change)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:i honestly dont know just trying to get points
Step-by-step explanation:
Any line can be expresses as:
y=mx+b where m=slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and b=y-intercept (value of y when x=0)
First find the slope:
m=(2-0)/(8-0)=2/8=1/4 so we have thus far:
y=0.25x+b, we solve for b using any point on the line, (8,2)
2=0.25(8)+b
2=2+b
0=b
So the line is:
y=.25x which they might also express as y=x/4
The answer is E. (1/4)x
